At air cargo Europe 2025, John Peyton Burnett, Founder and Managing Director of TAC Index, unpacks with Libin Chacko Kurian how TAC Index has grown into a vital risk management tool in the global air cargo market.

He explains how the Hong Kong-based platform provides real-time freight rate visibility through weekly and daily indices, built on actual transactional data from freight forwarders.
